In the blue corner, wearing a blue polo shirt, no hair and a silly grin... Gabriel Billings!

In the red corner, wearing one big ear and a shirt advertising Millennium Wash... Crabby!

Will the reformed troll defeat The Man With No Life [tm]? Let's get on with it and see...

Rule 1 - In dialogue, thought, or narrative, something which is clearly a very good thing must be treated as if it is a very bad thing, such as a rant on the evils of the smallpox vaccine, or that harlot Mother Teresa.

Rule 2 - We need more animals in strips. Make sure that animals outnumber people, and yes, that can include one animal and no people. Props and robots are not restricted - use them at will.

Please try to have en entry in within 24 ours of this posting, though the actual deadline is 36 hours. Judging will commence, as is customary, as soon as both entries are posted.

Let's make this a clean fight, gentlemen. *DING!*

Okay, with eight votes, Gabe has grabbed that victory pretty convincingly. Sure, was doing the boxing schtick before, but now I am feeling too lazy. Crabby, please email me a rule to be used in the round two match between Gabe and the winner of the following epic struggle...

Coming soon to a thread near you...

A battle between titans!

Can any stand up to the might of Bunnzilla, with his radioactive eye-lasers and explosive flatulence? SHRIEK as he destroys Tokyo! CRINGE as he stomps Cleveland flat!

Perhaps the power of Tigerah can stop him! The colossal beast can launch missiles from its nose, and razor-sharp origami animals from its crotch! CHEER as it urinates on Detroit!

The rules by which these ancient monsters engage are complex indeed. Both must make a comic strip, and...

1) A character in the strip needs to have a very disconcerting, and possibly disgusting, habit, such as nosepicking, talking to him or herself, or humming irritating advertising jingles...

2) The other day upon the stair I met a man who wasn't there... use either of the height maps, or no character at all, in at least two panels, but make sure there is a dialogue or thought bubble on each to show where it is (or indeed, where it is not).

This earth-shaking battle will take place within twenty-four hours, and those who witness it have twenty-four hours after the second strip has been posted to vote upon which beast was mightier!!!

...well, which strip was better, but you get the idea.

Our story begins in the Mururoa atoll...
